Thomas Frank out at Tottenham: Two ex-Sporting targets for Londoners | OneFootball

Thomas Frank is no longer the coach of Tottenham, after his dismissal was made official following nine months in the position. The London club hired the 52-year-old coach to replace Ange Postecoglou but was not satisfied with his performance. The Spurs are going through a difficult phase in the Premier League, with 29 points from 26 games, occupying the 16th position, close to the relegation zone.

As a result, there are already names associated with the position, notably through betting houses. Various options are on the table, and there are two former Sporting coaches among the candidates. Ruben Amorim - who recently made a decision - appears among the options, although they are not the favorites in the race for the Spurs' leadership.

On the other hand, Roberto de Zerbi is, according to The Mirror, the favorite to take the position. Besides having left the managerial role at Marseille by "mutual agreement," the coach has good credentials due to his stints at Brighton (achieved first participation in European competitions) and in France (return to the Champions League). Therefore, the Italian coach has odds of 1/1 at the betting house William Hill.

Next is Mauricio Pochettino, who, it should be remembered, managed Tottenham for six seasons and is the fans' favorite, with odds of 4/1. However, if the Argentine coach is chosen, the hiring can only happen after the 2026 World Cup, as he is the coach of the United States. With the same odds, Xavi, the former Barcelona coach, who is not currently managing any club, is also a possibility.

Returning to the Portuguese scene, Ruben Amorim's context might be more favorable for an immediate solution, considering he is available in the market. However, Marco Silva has been constantly linked to leaving the London club, making him a viable choice as well.
